Tim RichardsAha it seems my ride has arrived at Southern Cross Station. It's hissing away quite volubly. Makes a change from diesel emissions I guess!
Hmm we seem to have a points failure at Platform 3 at Southern Cross - so our steam loco can't get past the carriages to place itself at their front. Could this be another (admittedly unlikely) problem caused by Crowdstrike?
A man is down on the tracks now with two very large spanners, so I think they've opted for an analogue fix. 🔧 #Melbourne #train #trains #crowdstrike
Regular trains keep arriving at the adjacent platform, so it's fun to see the reaction of disembarking passengers to our hissing steam locomotive. Lot of young people going "Wow!" and taking photos.
I'm just old enough to remember steam trains pulling freight in WA when I was a kid. For these people it must seem like something from the Middle Ages. :)
Biggles 20X6!@timrichards fun fact - the steam is why they call it hiss-story. Before then it was just 'story' #trufax
